Phone no longer making or taking calls? - T-Mobile LG G3

D851, has been 100% fine until recently. Wife & I have exact same phone & RRemix N ROMs installed. Mine shows I have LTE connection w/ TMo, I can make calls, but no audio, and same when taking calls on phone. Have tried wiping, switching from 30D to 30E, etc, no joy.
Data is working 100%, just not phone calls.
I just bought this phone new a few months ago, & have treated it with care. Any suggestions on what I can do to remedy this?

Mine is more messed up
its unlocked from t-mobile And whenever i insert my sim card or any sim card if that matters its shut's down
so i'm using this phone for internet and apps because its a great phone but i had to use another phone for calls

Have you tried taking it back to them to check it? Maybe the sim card slot is broken.
Turns out mine was a hardware issue, took it in & they discovered that the contacts on the headphone jack that mate to the motherboard had corrosion on them. After they were cleaned off, good as new.
Good luck!

6.1 problems?

I just recently uprgraded to 6.1 and had no problems for a few days but the last few days ive been getting text messages late and people are receiving mine late and more then 1 of the same message.Could there be a promlem with the new Rom ???? Could my service be having temporary problems or could it be my phone?What the best explanations from the pros
It's not uncommon to receive late text messages. More than likely it's the carrier. Rebooting your phone may help reduce lost or missing txt messages.
Could be an issue with the sim card also. Thats what T-Mobile told me anyway. Was having the same issue, and people would call me, but the phone would not ring, and I would suddenly have a voice mail. New sim card and no more problems

That's probably not so much the SIM card as the HLR that the SIM card is tied to or the MSC that is processing the call. Basically, the data required to communicate with all SIM cards is stored on the HLR, and if something isn't correct with the datafill on the HLR or the MSC, then problems could happen. A new SIM card would mean a new HLR (or at least a different SIM card range on the HLR) and could eliminate problems.
Perfectly stated. I would recommend getting a new SIM card if the problem persists because it will tend to fix the problem.

I've been on the phone for similar problems with t-mobile for a total of about 4 hours, and they've never been able to give me a solution. How do I get a new sim? Tell them mine's broken and i need a new one? I don't think tech support would just give me one like that. Tell them that I took mine out and it fell in the couch cushions? Would there be a charge for a lost sim?

Galaxy nexus wont get a phone signal till i put sim in another phone

Hi,
My stock Nexus will display emergency calls only till i take sim card out put it in another phone then that phone will get signal and then put the sim back in Nexus and it gets signal until i go into a no signal area then i have to repeat process to get signal back.
This is really strange and a restart or just taking sim out and in again doesn't work.
After this has all been done i get full signal and its fine till i lose signal then have to start again only started happening a few days ago.
can anyone please help.
Get a new sim card? Update/switch radios?
I actually had the same error, for me switching sim cards helped.
Try it.
It sounds like its the SIM not your phone.
The sim works fine in other phones though

But the fact that the SIM doesn't work in your GNex until it's put into another phone means it's the SIM's problem... how would the GNex know that it's been put in another phone rather than just taken out and put back in?

Maybe its a dumb sim?
Really try another sim
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
k tried a Virgin sim (im on three) and that seemed to work fine so im going to ask for a another sim card from three.
Was the problem anyhow solved? It looks like I'm experiencing the same problem, but GN doesn't read my sim card that is readable in other phones and reads other sim cards.
for some random reason after 3 days it stopped doing it i think it was the three network not the phone or sim.

[Q] no cell service with activated SIM card

Alright, here's my issue. I got the phone unlocked about three months ago, worked perfectly. I get great signal with AT&T, always have. I don't have a data plan or anything, phone gets wifi fine.
One day I stopped getting cell service. It appeared on the phone as the circle with the line through it. I thought it was odd since I always get good signal. Still got wifi fine. Took the SIM out and put it in my nokia, full bars. Tried playing around with the APN settings, nothing. Reformatted the phone, nothing.
Went and talked with an AT&T guy and he gave me a new SIM card. He put it in my phone, unactivated, and it worked great, showed up with full service. Once he activated the SIM, it went back to saying no service. It doesn't say no SIM, just that I don't have any signal at all.
When I take the SIM out and power on the phone, I get the no SIM error and it shows that I have full signal. Once I put it in, nothing.
Right now I am just using it as a wifi device. I am not really sure what I should do, and I can't return the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
my wife's Glide is getting the same problem behavior as outlined in this thread. With a new phone, new SIM and new battery we see the no network icon and Service State=unknown in phone status. No sim card error anymore, just no network. I'm going to take the phone in to the warranty center for another new battery and SIM card. I'm not optimistic. Add to that ever since we got the Glide, the phone would not ring or show missed calls sometimes when people really did call.
The AT&T warranty center offered my wife a different phone (new) as a replacement, but the Glide is the only decent Android phone with a keyboard and she has to have a keyboard.

One V not recognizing any sim card, sim slot is dead?

Hey, I have my One v for about half a year now, and it worked perfectly with one sim, few weeks ago I changed to a different service provider, and the sim worked fine too.
Few days ago, I look at my phone and the bars just start to disappear, until it got to a state where I couldn't receive calls, SMS, surf the 3g web and so on. This morning (and yesterday's evening) I had bars fro few minutes, then it simply showed the name of the provider in the notification area, now there's just "no service". I tried swapping Sim's with my sister, which has the same phone - my sim worked on her phone, her sim didn't work on mine.
So my lucky guess is that the sim slot is dead, I wanted to know if there's any solution I should try before sending it to a store to find out wat is happen, or I should just do that and forget about it. Also, if the sim slot if dead, how much will it cost approximately to fix it?
Slot may not connect - maybe it's time to use "toilet paper solution" (as originally named for Nokia N900)? You should make piece of paper the same size as sim card and insert it with SIM card to slot to hold it with connectors and disallow separation. If not working experiment with paper with other thickness or size. Try this one and say about any changes.
And try with prepaid / old card
it may seem obvious, but have you already tried cleaning the sim slot by blowing all the dust out of it? that used to fix this sort of problems in my dumbphone.
Which nmforu
I owe my life to trees everywhere. Thank you dskowronski! it worked! tried doing what you told me, second time it worked - then I tried without the paper and voila!

M9 destroyed my sim?

I was having issues in the last few weeks with having a data connection, after some hours/day suddenly my data connection wouldn't want to connect anymore because "the service is unavailable", every time i had to pull out the sim and put it back in and it would reconnect the data connection..
Except this time when i did it, it suddenly doesn't even want to connect to the normal network..
Looking at me sim, it seems kinda damaged already by 3 stripes that are carved into the sim.. (see attachment)
It might be that those pins that are connecting to the sim inside are too close on the sim tray?
Could this be indeed the issue that was causing my data to not connect too? Unfortunately i cannot test it with another sim, nobody near me uses a nano sim..
I can't imagine those lines would cause any damage to the contacts, it looks completely normal to me. It's just what happens when it's inserted and re-inserted numerous times.
I'm sure your carrier would give you a free replacement SIM, and it would be even easier if you have one of their stores nearby, where they can just give you another SIM card there and then.

Yeah i just ordered 2 free sims from 2 different providers, see if i have the same "Disconnected because service is unavailable" with my data connection...
It's really odd that it works for a few hours/days before it stops working each time.. except now.. still can't get any data connection, signal started working again after re-inserting the sim couple more times...
Now suddenly it's working again.. but for how long..
Could logcat detect the problem here if i keep it running?
